He has promised that things are not going to be the way they were, that the practices of the past eight years under President Barack Obama will have an end, that it will be a new era taking us away from the American Carnage we have experienced. Anyone who watched the inauguration, and there must […]

I read in the German news today that seven children lost their parents in one single crash on a highway here. Someone lost control of their vehicle, possibly hit a small patch of ice which hadn’t been cleared away properly, and destroyed a complete family.

I have a great problem with the idea behind the title of this post, a title which has been used many times over the years and which, unsurprisingly, refers exclusively to the President of the United States of America. I have a problem with it for many reasons. The main one, of course, is that […]

Someone on Twitter, today, said that they were going to pray for me. They suggested that I would be surprised that they pray for all LGBT people while we, the LGBT people, only sue good, law-abiding Christian citizens. We are unable to put ourselves in their place, so walk a mile in their shoes, to […]

I think it was the Donald who claimed that there is – or is not, hard to keep up – a fat hacker sitting somewhere in Russia who concentrates on disrupting things. Sometimes this fat hacker is good, when he or she hacks other people, sometimes bad. Either way, the hacker is clearly fat, because […]

I have nothing against people who wish to believe, no matter what their chosen path is and so long as it is for them. I’m not a fan of those who insist on going from door to door, selling their religion, their religious wares or, worse still, insisting that they know the only way and […]

A British newspaper recently claimed that one Tweet from Donald J Trump has been mocked by other Twitter users. If they had been keeping up with the news, and with Twitter, they’d have seen that every Tweet is mocked, and not just by other Twitter users; also by the news media, internationally on social and […]

In Aesop’s fairy tale, a young shepherd boy found it amusing to alert local villagers with the claim that his flock of sheep was being attacked by a wolf. The villagers, out of concern for their own livelihoods as much as anything else, would immediately come out to his defense, to drive the wolf away, […]
